View From the Bushes

I guess now that I've had two good days of blogs which were interesting enough to be commented on, I can go back to my usual dish of insipid blandness, with a dash uninspired commentary, a side of gamer geekiness; all drenched in a thick gravy of pathetic whining. Speaking of gamer geekiness, as I mentioned earlier I've been playing a little bit of Magic: The Gathering during lunch breaks at work. I bring this up not to bore you with blow-by-blow recaps of the games (like Rimmer and his Risk games, even though I had a real nail-biter a few days ago) but rather to point out an interesting article.

See, it turns out that the next expansion that's going to be released for Magic is called Unhinged. It's a follow-up to a set they did earlier called Unglued and the point of both sets is to have a little fun with the game. I seem to remember one of the Unglued cards made you stand up in the middle of the game and sing "I'm a Little Teapot." So in celebration of the release of Unhinged, they're releasing an FAQTIWDAWCC (Frequently Asked Questions That If We Didn't Answer Would Cause Chaos), but since they can't officially release it until Friday and in the spirit of silliness that is Unhinged, they're releasing it a few letters and numbers at a time.

Okay that was a lot of effort for not a very big pay-off, so sue me. In national news, a grilled cheese sandwich bearing the likeness of the Virgin Mary is being auctioned on E-Bay. It does appear to have mystical properties, including mold resistance and the ability to win big money at Casinos.
